Nonpartisan Report: U.S. Immigration enforcement riddled with inhumane treatment, and denial of due process

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has compiled a comprehensive 155-page report that was based on evidence obtained from six immigration detention centers located in Arizona and Texas. The conclusion of the report is that the U.S. immigration law is enforced in a discriminatory manner, that enforcement relies on racial profiling, and that conditions in immigration detention are not commensurate with human dignity and humane treatment.

The Obama administration was provided with a draft of the report in August 2010. The administration's response was to defend their approach toward detention and deportation.
